Damn, now I feel so guilty!

I think I'll set fire to my motorbike!
Yes ... a bicycle will DO and a motor is unnecessary ... but I LIKE motors!
I know our 150 years of motorized romance will soon be ending .. but isn't it too late for us already anyway?
Thelma & Louise would not have worked as well if they WALKED OFF THE CLIFF!
After taking in enough pain from bicycling one could pick up one of these and really learn about suffering. (I really suffer riding bicycles .. cannot do it)
True Story:
Riding my motorcycle across a very remote section of the Sonoran Desert in N. Mexico I came across a Jesus wanna-be carrying a HUGE cross along the highway. (sorry, no pics, had film camera back then)
But unlike the dozens of other temporary Jesus's we've seen before ... this poor guy had no support crew. Carried almost NO water or food.
The Sun had burnt the crap out of him, but on he trundled. He would not talk, when I stopped to offer water. Maybe he'd taken a vow of silence? I rode up the road a half mile and left a water bottle for him. No idea if he ever got it.
Do you think I'll go to Heaven?
He sported the whole outfit from loin cloth to sandals. His Crown of Thorns was some sort of Desert bush. No thorns. Oh well, I give him a 90 out of 100 for style .. and full marks for effort.
